Here's my LO

Well I have been working on this for several days. I first started off with some sketches I did myself so I could get an idea of where I wanted the pics as well as the other items. We were given a challenge of mixing B&W pics and color pics. Also the challenge of mixing to themes of pics. One set was in a field(B&W) and the other set was next to a building. The kids are really cute.

Then I added things that seem to be popular today like jewels, ribbons, felt flowers, circles, etc. I kept the colors neutral for the most part. I did put some blue and a splash of pink in the flowers and butterflies. I am finished with them except for the title. I ran out of time the other day and didn't get to recut out the letters for the title. I cut them out of a different paper to see if I liked the style, which I did. I need to recut out of the brown I am using for circles on the page. When I am finished I will take a pic and post.

I also want to add some stamping to one of the circles and alittle inking. Maybe some embossing. I would have sewn on the page, but didn't have the right shade of thread. I just want to make sure I have enough "techniques" on the pages. We need 3. I wish they would have listed exactly what they thought was a technique so I would be sure I have it all.

This is the way I would like to scrapbook all the time. I am not sure if I can afford it. Although, I am very please the results. I love being creative and I think these LOs show that. I learned one thing through all of this and that is I can scrapbook out of the box and I really like it!
